John, I think you may have some problems with the RETIREMENT part of that solution! I don't think you'll be able to do that!!

Frank, we were going to fire the last one but he took the 5th so he is now on paid leave awaiting retirement. Hey, it works for the gov't.

John Hildebrand will have the 31 Coupe out at Barona Saturday for an 1/8 Mile event. We'll see if we can back up the 1/8 mile times from Famoso. Doubtful, since the elevation is quite a bit higher. Probably will be happy with times in the 6.30's.One more shot from Famoso

Unfortunately I was the video operator and I need to practice with my camera so there is no video. The only one I got is at the end of a run and then pointing at the ground. Great sound of the burnout for the next 2 cars lining up!No matter what we put on the doors or what the valve covers say people still think its a scrub. Did have one guy come by and he was really excited to see a Y-Block at the track. I should have notified the tower but I thought John Hildebrand would have already done that. I'll know better next time.

Much congrats for breaking into the nines. That’s some real bragging rights for the Y. I’m looking forward to the YBM articles which should make for some great reading.

Good job! Getting into the 9s is a good thing, I have yet to do it.
